#CognitiveDecline

As a person being very reluctant to indulging into the virtual world I'm wondering for quite some time now whether it's me losing communicative skills or whether there is some sort of shift in cognitive patterns in the outer world.

»The accumulated evidence from 2019 to 2025 demonstrates the emergence of a global cognitive reconfiguration—one that reflects both a decline in classical capabilities and the rise of new, technologically mediated abilities. The phenomenon is not linear, nor is it homogeneous. The pressing question for global education, health, and governance systems is whether this reconfiguration leads to a more adaptive cognitive ecosystem—or instead exposes millions to functional impairment in an increasingly complex world.« (https://www.pressenza.com/2025/07/the-decline-of-the-intelligence-quotient-in-the-digital-age-cognitive-reconfiguration-and-global-trends/)

For those claiming that little Donnie has not lost a step…

He’s missing an entire staircase.

Trump continues to exhibit cognitive decline. A speech he gave in Pittsburgh on Tuesday was a train wreck of actuality.

For a brief moment, we acknowledged its danger. We locked down. We listened. Then we did something strange. We started pretending.

Now, in 2025, pretending has consequences.

"EEG revealed significant differences in #brain connectivity: Brain-only participants exhibited the strongest, most distributed networks; Search Engine users showed moderate engagement; and #LLM users displayed the weakest connectivity
… Self-reported ownership of essays was the lowest in the LLM group and the highest in the Brain-only group. LLM users also struggled to accurately quote their own work. While LLMs offer immediate convenience, our findings highlight potential cognitive costs. Over four months, LLM users consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels."
